I reinstalled my brake pedal and all the stuff associated after I put in a new master cylinder... and now it sits 10" more forward than it should be.. WHat to do?!
I also have this problem!
my 72 duster was originally a power brake car but the previous owner stripped the power brake booster and master off the car....left the proportioning valve and brake pedal assembly and what not installed in the car.
I then bought a used master cylinder and manual brake pushrod from another duster and converter the car to manual brakes.
I did not know where the brake pedal sat from the factory on the car so I just assumed that where it sat height wise is where it was suppose to sit.
my brake pedal works correctly and everything but it sits much higher than my gas pedal.....I have to pull my foot off the gas pedal about 6" or more in order to slide it over to the brake pedal.
unlike cars now adays where you can almost slide your foot from the gas pedal directly over to the brake pedal without lifting your foot much at all.
the pedal assembly is bolted in where it is suppose to be, I am using factory duster manual pushrod and master cylinder,master is mounted correctly and all.
I don't get it.:|
I didnt know if thats where it was suppose to sit from the factory or not.....seems high to me, thought about maybe shortening the brake pushrod a little to drop the pedal a bit. (a half inch out of the rod on the top end of the pedal assembly might make for 2" difference in height at the bottom end of the pedal).
Does this pic help?

Is yours about the same distance from the floor?
